Impossible Precision: A Scientific Study of Ancient Egyptian Stone Vessels | #45 Dr. Max Fomitchev-Zamilov

And I'm not talking, you know, just the granite casing of the Neva River. I'm talking about megalithic columns of St. Isaac Cathedral. some obelisks, megalithic vases, megalithic fountains, and the so-called Gromstone, that's the statue of Peter the Great stands upon. How do you spell that? In Russia, it's G-R-O-M, and it means thunder. Yeah, that's the rock.

So according to the official history, this rock was brought, and that's just like a few thousand tons. This is a huge rock. It's like a miniature mountain. So the official history is telling us it was brought from Karelia, something of a hundred miles away, hauled through swamps without roads to St. Petersburg. And I'm thinking,

If Catherine the Great or whoever commissioned it, they were surely not that stupid to order such a job. Obviously, the legend was written to aggrandize the Tsar and Russia by attributing this feat to them. The empress commanded and the rock was brought. But it's just a stupid undertaking that I can never believe it being done.

In modern days, that would be difficult, and much less 300 years ago, saw some peasants with horses and bare feet, 500 miles through Karelia and rocks and swamps, you know, really? I just don't believe it. And how much does it weigh? Several thousand tons. Oh my God.

Yeah, it's just, and there are many things like that, you know, that's, and they're like in front of your face, but because you hear this official history all the time, you never doubt it until you're supposed to think.

Isaac Cathedral anomalies, because it's got huge columns, granite columns that are also like hundreds of tons each. So how would you transport them? And the question why is because you had unlimited funds and you wanted to spend all of your funds on making these huge columns when you had the rest of the cathedral to finish?

But also what stains credulity is Winter Palace and the other palaces there, the first floor is buried. So St. Petersburg is built on the swamp. So why would you bury the first floor along with all of the ornaments there and then make a makeshift entry between the first and second floors? That makes no sense, yeah. So you cannot even see the first floor.
